I do this all the time . I get rid of junk for low resale but my store consistantly sells 4 to 5 items every day not making alot but did 4000 in 90 days problem is my selling cost are at 55 percent but still earning about 1100 amonth followimg these sugggestions. Waiting to return to work as a sheriff deputy and struggling to pay my bills for personal reasons but consistantly listing everyday and selling rhe good items i can find along with the other things and dropping prices and making offers everyday is keeping me alive . I get it it works and when i get in a better place i will source better but for now this is working . What you are telling them really does work . Good video

Agree completely. I have seen a ton of items (sports memorabilia/cards) that have been sitting in someone's store for five or six YEARS. I've bid what I consider reasonable, and get turned down. Obviously, no one else is meeting their price, so perhaps they need to do a re-think. A smart dealer would have taken a smaller profit on the items and put the money into something else. There could have been twenty turnovers of that profit by now.

I'm one of those people who would do a listing flurry, then ramp up to another listing flurry a few days later, so thank you for bringing the "list 4 or 5 items a day, every day" to my attention, to make the algorithm work in my favor. I do have a question about that. I've put a bunch of listings together, and I'm planning to meter them out at 5 per day as you instructed...however, does the time of day matter? If I drop 5 listings at 1130pm on a Monday, do I need to wait a full 24 hours after that (1130pm on the following Tuesday), or is it only the actual date that matters? So, could I drop 5 at 400pm on one day, and then 5 more at 830am on the next day (and get the algorithm to work)? I appreciate your help!

If you have quality products stop selling so cheap. If you’re making your established profit margin reducing your price alittle, great. It’s a win-win for you and the buyer. You’re in business to make money, right? Don’t give it away at garage sale prices. What you are doing is losing your unnecessary gains and driving the market down hurting other buyers in the process. Don’t make it a race to the bottom price because it only hurts all sellers in the long run. Peace and blessings.

I certainly want no part in hurting other sellers, we make ebay possible! Seriously my heart goes out to good honest sellers because there are so many scammers on eBay and other platforms that people new to eBay that are honest and good end up leaving after getting scammed which in turn simply dilutes the platform with more scammers than good sellers. Ugh... Anyways sorry for the rant, you 100% right I need to just buckle down on my prices rather than give in and accept a low bid, perhaps I need to be more patient.

What would you recommend for getting better inventory from thrift stores? I do great in spring/summer/fall but as soon as I have to return to the local or even. Thrift stores hours away the quality of inventory goes waaay down and that is winter. Starting in January and all the way till May. I feel like I have a reasonable grasp on what is good inventory as I've been doing it for 5 years. Even the estate sales are super hard around here. The main thing is that goodwill which dominate our area has priced certain things like dvds, books, cds, games, etc at this flat 2.99 and it makes it tough. Additionally we have 14 clothing flippers who dominate each store and won't hesitate to hit hard goods too. Sorry I know this sounds whiny and I don't mean for it to but it's just been my issue for a while and why I'm stuck making sure 2.5k gross in winter and 10.5k in summer per. Month. Thanks in advance!
